(Scene opens to Bellina in her room setting up a scanning device. She inspects for a moment)
Bellina: Good. All set.
(Bellina hears the door open)
Cosmic: Hey Bellina, I’m here.
Bellina: Ah good, perfect timing. Got it all set up for you.
Cosmic: Is this for something important? You made it sound urgent.
Bellina: Ahh it’s nothing urgent, just simple curiosity is all.
Cosmic: Curiosity?
Bellina: Yes. It’ll be no problem.
Cosmic: I hope so. Do you need me to sit anywhere?
(Bellina motions to a bed)
Belina: Lay down right here.
(Cosmic goes and lays down)
Bellina: Now. Stay still.
(Bellina goes and begins interacting with her scanners)
Bellina: You may feel a slight tingle in your body. These are going to be some deep scans.
Cosmic: Uh, right. Just do what you gotta do.
Bellina: I did. Stay still.
(Cosmic complies as the scans for over her.. She turns her head looking to the left and right)
Bellina: Cosmic.
(Cosmic keeps her head straight)
Cosmic:....
(The scan keeps going until a few beeps are heard and the scan stops)
Bellina: Hmm…
(Bellina looks at results coming from monitors)
Bellina:... Astounding…
(Cosmic sits up)
Cosmic: So… Am I healthy or…?
Bellina: Are you aware your biometrics are completely sporadic?
Cosmic:... Huh?
Bellina: The scans show your bioenergy is mixed up with some many foreign energies. And these energies are somehow, meshing with your own in perfect harmony.
Cosmic: What does that mean?
Bellina: From what I’ve gathered, you seem to be gathering more bioenergies, mixing it with your own, and you are getting new powers from it.
Cosmic: S-Seriously?
Bellina: Seriously. This is such a fascinating anomaly. No Titanian, hell no known race in the universe has done this.
Cosmic: So, is that why I keep getting all these new powers from these demons?
Bellina: The theories I’ve thought up so far, either they are giving you their powers, which I have no hypothesis as to why they would do that, or you are absorbing their power.
(Bellina looks at the monitor, Cosmic looks at her scan results)
Bellina: Cosmic. At the rate you are going, you could become the most powerful Titanian in the galaxy.
Cosmic: Wha-...R-Really?
Bellina: That’s my theory so far.
Cosmic:...Wow, that’s gonna do things to my ego…
Bellina: Well, don’t let it get to your head. Still, consider this a gift Cosmic, it could do you and the rest of us a huge favor in this conflict.
(Cosmic thinks for a moment)
Cosmic:.... Absorbing demon powers….
(Cosmic remembers a dream from Archeon and the demon Winter’s words. She looks at her hands)
Cosmic:......
Bellina: I’m gonna show my results to Danea. I think he’ll be very interested in this.
Cosmic: S-Sure.
Bellina: Feel free to leave and do your own thing if you want. I’ll keep you updated on things, okay?
Cosmic: Right, lemme know what he says.
(Bellina nods as Cosmic gets up from the bed. She’s then seen walking down the hall looking at her hands)
Cosmic:...
(Cosmic closes her fists a few times)
Cosmic: Power absorption…This is…wow…
(Cosmic leaves the room)
Cosmic: How did I get this power? Was it all the stuff I drank? Was it… The experiments?
(Cosmic thinks)
Cosmic: Hmm…It could be possible those had a hand in it. I mean, I don’t recall this being an ability of mine until I got here… But why give me a power like this?
(Cosmic keeps on walking)
Cosmic: Ah, at least it’s been useful so far. Hmm…Most powerful Titanian though? I might need to process that…
(Cosmic walks as she looks and sees Lizun’s room)
Cosmic:...
(Cosmic thinks for a moment)
Cosmc:... Later.
(Cosmic walks off)
Cosmic: I wonder what the others are doing?
(Cosmic walks off and after a bit, sees Cules and Nathal, the former of which is lifting)
Nathal: Hey Cosmic.
Cules: Yo!
Cosmic: What’s going with you boys?
Nathal: Just spotting him before another patrol round.
Cules: You know it!
Cosmic: I see. How many lifts has he done?
Nathal: So far? Almost a hundred and fifty.
Cosmic: Wow.
Cules: Heh, beginner numbers. I’m barely getting started!
Nathal: Hehehe.
Cosmic: Well, sounds like you’re having fun.
Cules: Oh ho you bet! I can always enjoy a chance to get my muscles going!
Cosmic: So I gathered.
Nathal: Cules told me about how you two took down the factory.
Cosmic: I trust the things were accurate?
Nathal: I mean, they did sound wild, but he’s not usually one to lie.
Cules: Duh, of course I told the truth! I said we kicked ass, fought a giant robot, and used it to blow the place up! Not to mention all the cool fighting you did Cosmic.
Cosmic: Heh. Well you know.
Cules: What you thought I lied and made you look bad?
Cosmic: Maybe.
Cules: Ah I would never girl, you’re too good at what you do! You deserve the credit.
Cosmic: Well I’m glad you showed respect Cules. You’re a great guy.
Cules: I try to be!
Nathal: Glad to hear you’re first team up went well.
(Cosmic nods. Her comms goes off. She goes to answer it)
Cosmic: Talk to me.
Zertrax: *Voice* Cosmic. I have need of your skills for a job. A rather big one I’l explain the details when you are down here.
Cosmic: Oh, uh okay. I’ll be there soon.
Zertrax: *Voice* Good, good. I’ll be expecting you.
(Cosmic hangs off as Cules puts the weight down)
Cules: Well sounds like you’re in for some action.
Cosmic: Looks like.
Cules: Room for 2?
Nathal: 2?
Cules: Yeah, us.
Cosmic: Oh uhh, sure. I don’t see why you can’t help.
Cules: Heheh awesome!
Nathal: I could use another team up!
Cosmic: Let’s head to Zertrax’s place.
Cules: Oooh that guy huh?
Nathal: This outta be interesting. Let’s get a move on then!
Cosmic: I’ll lead the way boys, follow me.
(The 3 leave together. The scene cuts to Zertrax’s place as the 3 walk in.Zertrax sees the 3)
Zertrax: Ah Cosmic. Good to see you. And I see you brought your fellow Titanians again.
Cosmic: That I did. Hopefully it’s not a problem.
Zertrax: Never is. I like working with you guys. Besides, these boys look capable.
Nathal: Oh you know us Zertrax.
Cules: So what is it you need us for your more shady dealings?
Zertrax: Heh, that’s one way of saying that. But this is legit business. One you Titanians wil appreciate. A client of mine is working with me in the forced labor trade.
Cosmic: Slave trading?
Zertrax: I prefer “freedom challenge”. Most aliens in the city are often used as a source of free labor. I get payed to assist with helping those poor offworlders to safety.
Cosmic: I see…
Nathal: And what’s the issue with this?
Zertrax: It’s getting the enslaved aliens back from the Darkwatchers that’s the issue. They keep them on tight watch, and they’ll shoot anyone who tries to interfere. So I need someone to trake out the transports taking the slaves, and head to the market down in south town with the prisoners.
Cules: A bit odd for a crime boss trying to save people being inslaved. WHat do you get out of it?
Zertrax: Oh a clear conscience , a good night’s sleep, knowing I helped those less fortunate. And lots of money!
Cules: That’s about right.
Nathal: Well, I don’t see why we can’t help out some enslaved people in need.
Cosmic: Yeah, what kind of Titanians would we be if we didn’t help?
Cules: Exactly! We’ll do it Zertrax, just point us toward the right spot.
Zertrax: I’ll have the location of each prisoner transports on your communicators. Good luck.
(The 3 nod and walk outt)
Cosmic: Right. Now let’s take a look here.
(Cosmic looks at her communicator. The boys do the same)
Cosmic: Hmm…
Nathal: Not too far away it seems.
Cules: Looks like we got 3 locations. One for each of us.
Cosmic: Shall we split up then?
Nathal: Splitting up could work well.
Cules: Yeah, I’m fine with splitting our manpower! Makes this go quicker.
Cosmic: So I'll head north, Nathal, you go east, and Cules west.
Cules: You got it.
Nathal: Keep each other updated, right?
Cosmic: You know it Nathal.
(The 3 blast off heading to their respect directions. Nathal is seen speeding looking around)
Nathal: Coming up on the transport.
Cosmic: *Voice* Gotcha, let us know how it goes.
Nathal: Heheh, you got it. You guys close to yours?
Cules: *Voice* Coming up on it now!
Cosmic: *Voice* Be careful out there guys.
(Nathal nods and keeps flying. A moment passes and he sees a floating transport with a cage in the back. In the cage, roughly 15 different aliens are seen)
Nathal: There you are.
(The aliens all seem distressed, not wanting to be there. Nathal looks around trying to pinpoint the guards)
Nathal: Alright, how many of you are watching?
(Nathal sees a tank and about 10 troopers following the transport)
Nathal: That’s it huh? Welp.
(Nathal cracks his neck)
Nathal: This will take about 3 seconds.
(Nathal leans down in a running position)
Nathal: Hope these guys keep count!
(Nathal speeds off. The 10 guards all are knocked down. And then Nathal leaps to the tank and smashes it. He then leaps over to the front seat of the transport in front of the pilot)
Pilot: ! W-What-
(Nathal punches the pilot and grabs him)
Nathal: Sorry pal, I’m taking this!
(Nathal pulls the pilot out and tosses him away. He then goes inside the cockpit, looking at the controls)
Nathal: Okay let’s see…Which of these controls the prisoner cell?
(Nathal looks at the buttons for a moment)
Nathal:.... Ah screw it.
(Nathal comes out of the transport and goes to the cage. The prisoners are surprised but Nathal then rips the bars off)
Nathal: Okay everyone, you’re being let out early for unjust imprisonment!
(The aliens leave the cage, looking nervous)
Nathal: It’s okay now, you’re free.
(The aliens look around unsure where to go)
Nathal: Don’t worry, we’re gonna take you some place safe. Now just relax and don’t freak.
(Nathal speeds off each alien vanishes one by one as the scene cuts to Cules look over the transport)
Cules: Hehe this will be easy.
(Cules begins to approach the transport. The guards take notice)
Guard #1: ! H-Hey! Stop right there!
Cules: You boys really wanna do this?
Guard #1: SHOOT HIM!
(The guards fire at Cules as the laser fire bounces off him)
Cules: Heheheh, seriously?
(The guards just keep shooting)
Cules: Wow, okay you ARE serious. Gotta say, feels more like I’m just getting poked rather than getting hit with searing hot plasma. But, what can you do?
(Cules cracks his knuckles)
Cules: So, let’s make this fun then shall we?
(Cules punches the ground shaking it as the guards all shake from the mini earthqauke going on. Cules charges at the guards ramming through them like a rampaging juggernaut and slams them all to a building)
Cules: BOOM!!
(The guards are seen lying around in pain. Cules turns to face the transport)
Cules: Hehehe, I swear you guys are too easy.
(Cules walks toward the transport before he’s hit by a few small laser bolts. He turns to see one single guard standing, shaking as he aims a laser pistol at Cules)
Cules: Oh?
Guard #2: S-...S-S-Stand down man…! Don’t make me s-shoot!
(Cules smirks and walks up)
Guard #2: N-No stay back! I-I’m warning you! I-I’ll do it! I swear I’ll-
(Cules is in front of the Guard still smirking as the guard looks even more scared)
Guard #2:......
(The guard drops the gun and just lies on the ground)
Cules: Heheh, that’s what I thought.
(Cules walks up to the transport’s case)
Cules: Hello alien life forms! Your salvation is here! Now please just sit tight as I take you all to safety!
(Cules then lifts up the transport casually)
Cules: Piece of cake!
(Cules activates his radio)
Cules: Okay guys, I got my transport handled! How’re you guys doing?
Cosmic: *Voice* Let me get back to you on that!
Cules: Oh? You okay?
Cosmic: *Voice* Fine, just…in a pickle!
(Scene cuts to Cosmic, who’s standing before a giant spider bot, guarding the transport. It shoots a laser at Cosmic who dodges)
Cules: *voice* You need help?
Cosmic: No I got this, just get the people to the guy at the market.
Cules: *Voice* Okay, be careful!
(Cosmic nods as she dodges another laser and looks at the spider bot)
Cosmic: Alright you eight-legged freak, come at me!
(The spider bot keeps trying to attack as Cosmics dodges each laser. Cosmic then bolts to the ground and stomps, creating a large field of ice under the spider bot. It tries to maintain it’s balance but soon slides and falls)
Cosmic: Hehe! Now to finish you off!
(Cosmic leaps into the air and falls toward the spider bot, going in to stomp on it as her feet are coated in ice. She yells out and smashes into the bot’s head, crushing it under the weight of the ice blocks on her feet and shuts down)
Cosmic: Aaaaand, that’s a wrap.
(Cosmic then goes up to the transport)
Cosmic: Greetings, aliens. Please sit back and relax as I take you all to a safe spot.
(Cosmic lifts up the transport and flies)
Cosmic: Heheh, digging these new ice powers! This combined with all the fire will make me a powerhouse for sure! Hm…Fire and ice…I think Nebula saw someone like this in a book once. Or… Was it a story dad to-...HER. Dad told her?
(Cosmic shakes her head)
Cosmic: Ah, can’t think about that right now. Gotta get these people to the market.
(Cosmic keeps flying. The scene cuts to Cosmic arriving where Cules and Nathal are waiting with a bunch of people in the market. She lands the transport on the ground. Ripping the cage open and pulls the bars off. The people happily come rushing out. Cosmic approaches the boys)
Cosmic: All good on your end?
Nathal: Yep, went as well as I could’ve hoped!
Cules: No issues on my end either.
Nathal: You?
Cosmic: Eh, a spider bot gave me some issues, but I handled it.
Cules: Jeez all I got were a bunch of jobbers.
Nathal: Really? At least I had a tank.
Cules: You got a tank??
Nathal: Yeah.
Cules: Aw man, I wanted a tank…
Cosmic: Well at least we got that handled. Now where’s the contact?
(The 3 look around as soeone in a hood approaches the 3
???: You’re the ones Zertrax sent?
Cosmic: Hm? Oh yeah. You the contact?
???: Correct. You did a good thing for the poor unfortunate people stuck in this hell hole.
Cosmic: It’s what we do.
???: I’m going to take them out of the city to a safe place. Your help won’t be forgotten.
(The figure signals to the aliens who begin to walk over)
???: I’ll tell Zertrax of what you did here. And tell him he’ll get his money.
Cosmic: So why are you doing this?
???: I’m just someone who hates Nakal. Till we meet again. I’ll return the favor soon enough.
(The hooded one and the aliens all leave)
Cules: Hmm.. I’m hoping this is legit, cause this looks suspicious.
Nathal: I don’t think he was lying.
Cosmic: Yeah all signs said he was telling the truth.
Cules: I guess. Well we’re done here either way.
Nathal: That was honestly not as challenging as I expected.
Cosmic: Yeah, but it was a good thing at least.
Cules: Do we tell Zertrax?
Nathal: That guy said he’d tell him for us. I guess for now we’ll just head back home.
Cosmic: You guys go ahead I’m just gonna go fly around for a bit.
Nathal: You sure?
Cosmic: Yeah, I’ll come later.
Cules: Well, alright.
Nathal: Don’t get lost!
Cules: And try not to get caught up by demons again, heheh.
(The two fly off leaving Cosmic alone)
Cosmic:....
(Cosmic flies off in a random direction)
Cosmic: *sigh* Another job well done I suppose.
(Cosmic just looks around at the sights as she flies)
Cosmic: Can’t stop thinking about that…I don’t…. Have a family. Closest thing I have is .. Freaking Hazard.
(Cosmic lets out a frustrated sigh)
Cosmic: Talk about a bad hand…
(Cosmic then thinks about the heroes back on Earth)
Cosmic: And Nebula…she gets her parents, and not to mention her entire team… plus Carly, and Keith…
(Cosmic stops and floats there)
Cosmic: I… have no real sense of my own identity yet, and now I… Don’t have any real friends or family…
(Cosmic floats and looks a bit upset, but she tries to think of the other Titanians)
Cosmic: But…these guys are friends, right? I mean, sure we’re kinda just stuck together, but…I don’t know, they feel…friendly.
(Cosmic groants and shakes her head)
Cosmic: Gah this is so damn confusing!!
(Cosmic’s comms go off. She sighs and answers)
Cosmic: Yeah?
Danea: *Voice* Cosmic. I’m sending you my location. Meet me as soon as you can.
Cosmic: Oh, is it important?
Danea: *Voice* Very. Come as soon as possible.
(The call ends)
Cosmic: Hm… Well, guess this is fitting. Haven’t had one on one time with Danea.
(Cosmic flies off
Cosmic: No time like the present.
(Cosmic keeps flying as she goes to meet Danea…)
TO BE CONTINUED…
